To consider the head of planning’s report.

(a)      agree, subject to Council approving budget provision for a local plan, to endorse the Local Development Scheme programme of work for preparing the new Local Plan and associated Development Plan Documents;

(b)      agree publication of the revised Statement of Community Involvement for public consultation for a period of six weeks; and 

(c)       authorise the head of planning in consultation, with the Cabinet member for planning, to make any minor amendments, additions, typographical and grammar corrections to the documents prior to publication.
